Salesforce Beats and Raises on Agentforce Momentum, Then Unveils Claudeforce with Anthropic
Salesforce (CRM) reported fiscal 2027 second-quarter revenue of $11.345 billion in results released August 26, 2026, up 10.83% year over year and 0.25% above Street estimates for the period ended July 31. Adjusted earnings per share of $5.90 beat estimates by 80.38%, and net income of $4.844 billion climbed 73.31% year over year, giving Salesforce stock its most convincing beat in several quarters heading into a call that turned out to be about far more than the print.
The bigger move came in bookings. Current remaining performance obligations, the pipeline of contracted but unrecognized revenue, grew 14% year over year in constant currency to $33.5 billion, a point ahead of guidance and, in CFO Robin Washington’s words, the strongest quarter for net new annual order value in four years. Attrition sat near its lowest level on record, and Slack’s net new AOV posted its fastest growth since Salesforce acquired the company. Non-GAAP operating margin held at 34.1% even as GAAP operating margin reached 20.5%, and free cash flow of $1.1 billion rose 81% year over year, funding continued buybacks under the company’s $25 billion repurchase program.
Salesforce paired that reacceleration with the reveal of Claudeforce, a joint interface built with Anthropic that layers Claude’s reasoning on top of Salesforce’s data, workflows and permissions. CEO Marc Benioff introduced it as a structural shift for the company on the Q2 earnings call: “This is really the best of both worlds. This is the number one AI in the world, Anthropic, and the number one CRM, Salesforce, are coming together for the first time in an incredibly powerful way to build a new product called Claudeforce.” President and newly named Chief Operating Officer Miguel Milano said the product reaches general availability in September, with every Salesforce seller demoing it by the company’s Dreamforce conference.
Agentforce, the company’s existing AI agent platform, is already showing up in the numbers rather than just the pitch. Agentforce annual recurring revenue reached $1.5 billion, agentic workflow use hit 3.2 billion actions in the quarter, up 97% sequentially, and Slack bot grew to 1 million active users, up 150% quarter over quarter. Bookings from premium Agentforce and Slack bundles more than doubled sequentially.
Management used that momentum to raise the fiscal 2027 revenue outlook by $300 million in constant currency to a new range of $46.1 billion to $46.4 billion, with $100 million from organic strength in Agentforce, Data 360 and Slack, and $200 million tied to the pending Contentful and Fin acquisitions. Non-GAAP operating margin guidance held at approximately 34.3%, and third-quarter revenue guidance came in at $11.42 billion to $11.5 billion, with CRPO growth of roughly 14% in constant currency, a figure that still excludes any contribution from the two pending deals.
TIKR Values Salesforce Stock at $401, Pricing In an AI Bookings Reacceleration
TIKR’s mid-case model values Salesforce at $401 by January 2031, implying 95% total return from the current price of $206, or 16% annualized over 4.4 years.
A projected return of that size over a roughly four-and-a-half-year holding period places Salesforce stock’s implied compounding well above what most mega-cap software names currently offer investors willing to hold through 2031.
The case rests on Agentforce and Claudeforce converting their current usage inflection, Agentforce ARR at $1.5 billion and agentic workflow volume up 97% sequentially, into the net new AOV growth management already called its fastest pace in four years. That bookings trajectory, together with premium bundle upgrades still reaching only 5% of eligible knowledge workers, is what carries Salesforce stock toward TIKR’s $401 target by 2031.
